Jonathan Rauch
Author/Journalist/Commentator
Other Notable Libertarian Figures
"If we care about knowledge, freedom, and peace, then we need to stake a strong claim: anyone can believe anything, but liberal science—open-ended, depersonalized checking by an error-seeking social network—is the only legitimate validator of knowledge, at least in the reality-based community."
A senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Rauch is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a longtime advocate for free speech, liberal pluralism, and open inquiry. His books, including Kindly Inquisitors and The Constitution of Knowledge, examine how truth-seeking depends on decentralized systems such as science, journalism, and democratic institutions. Through his journalism and scholarship, he defends these systems against pressures that threaten to centralize control or undermine the norms that support intellectual freedom and civil discourse.
